I have not done much with the X lately. Life has been too busy and I've been dealing with a work injury that prevents me from doing much of anything. Alas, no wheeling for me b/c of the injury.
Today I gave the X some much needed loving in the form of flushing out and changing many of the fluids that needed changing (I'm at ~170,300mi). Due to my injury, I had to take the X to a shop to have it done.
Things done:
- Change/flush Power Steering Fluid
- Change/flush Coolant
- Change oil & filter (Mobil 1 synth extended performance)
- Change front and rear diffs (synth Redline)
- Checked brakes to see how much left...needs changing but cannot afford manpower (already have pads/rotors)
- Replaced rear tail light (I got wrong bulb, oops)
Apparently I sheered off one of my bolts holding the rad skid to the bumper. I said f-it and did not care. There are still plenty of other bolts holding it on, haha!
I am very glad I changed the PSF. There is a very noticeable difference in how tight the steering handles. Wooo!
Last week I stopped by my original fabricator's shop to see about getting a custom roof rack built akin to DepHep but with .50 ammo big boxes built in for storage. *grins* We'll see how that goes since I am caught with wanting to keep the cross bars to use to transport my kayak. Anyone have an aftermarket rack and transports kayaks/canoes on it?
